Tuesday, January 8 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM Session B - DH6: Timeline to Broadband Wireless - Delivering Video & Rich Media to Handhelds The first generation of applications for delivering media rich content into a mobile environment has appeared. Video on a PDA is here, but what does that mean in the race to bring wireless video to the market as a whole. Wireless broadband is definitely the killer app that will spawn a transformation of every digital device, from the PDA and cellphone to the at home PC. What can we expect in the transition to broadband wireless? What services can we expect to see and what relationships will likely emerge between the media companies, content companies and the device or networking companies? In this session, we will take a three year look at the delivery of video into the mobile.
